Default Re: Themes

The first maps made for Dom II was made without thoughts on further mapmaking. Layers were flattened and canvas added without second thoughts. When I started on new maps I gradually found this annoying and the newer maps are made in lots of layers and Versions so I can cut and paste mountains, forests and specials at will.

I have considered making a mapmaking kit (a couple of mountains forests and trees that players can cut and paste into their own maps). This will hopefully lead to more maps and scenarios.

Just save the map image as a TGA file (one layer and no alpha). I believe thats all. White dots (one pixel) in each province. Borders arn't necessary, but editing will be easier if you have red borders as the computer tries to find borders by itself if you want.

BTW, did you make any maps? I can help you finish half finished maps if you like.
